'The latest official PlayStation Portable firmware from Sony has finally made it out of the paddock and into the wild. That's right folks, you can now download and update your PSP to firmware 5.50. Here's a quick look at what it brings:

* XMB Information Board similar to the PS3's
* Unregistered browsing on the PlayStation Store
* Create and access sub-folders for music, videos and photos
* Internet search for games directly from the XMB
* Free trial for two Trend Micro Internet security services

The firmware update can be downloaded by using the Network Update feature on your PSP or by clicking here. Get it while it's hot. Or not. If you wanna stick to homebrew, you might want to put off updating until we hear more about Davee's upcoming HEN."

Sony has since fixed an exploit which allowed higher firmware games to play on lower firmware systems. I learned this when trying to play the recently released Gundam game a few weeks ago. Now you need to be up to date on firmware to play new releases, so people intending on playing games will need to use this. Unless they've fixed something I haven't heard of since I last tried.

Just give it a bit. I am sure someone will solve this issue with new firmware.
